On the night that my love broke through
On the night that my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night that my love broke through
Cell doors were opened
Guards stepped out the way
Prisoners got one acre of land and one year's pay
Flowers long since dead
Stiffened at the neck
Colors came back in green and yellow and in red
Unemployed cowboy
Staggered on Fairfax
Trucks pulled up and fifteen men hollered and hopped in back
A copy of Bukowski
At the bottom of the stack
Got pickup by some dropout who read it front to back
Shoving off the death hand of his past
Ants were crawling out of
Grimy bathtub drains
Janitor was laughing, he had finally gone insane
